Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called for Democrats to elect “brawlers” who fight for the working class to counter GOP power and oppose policies endorsed by figures like Elon Musk.

Speaking alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders in Las Vegas, she criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for not filibustering a GOP spending bill and labeled the decision a “tremendous mistake.”

Ocasio-Cortez urged voters to support candidates willing to take bold stances.

She continues her “Fighting Oligarchy” tour with Sanders across Nevada, Colorado, and Arizona.

    I want AOC, Warren, Jasmine Crockett, and Buttigeg. They have been the only politicians in rank that I’ve felt have been representing. And Walz, too.

      Elizabeth Warren talks a big game, but she shrivels under pressure. I’d love her if she were half the person she claims to be.

        Honestly, I’ll take that any day of the week. It’s far better than someone like Newsom who is actively courting right wing figureheads so he can agree with them about how bad progressives are.

        The party would be so much better if we could get rid of the members that hate progressives.

    She’s RIGHT! Which is why I’m GLAD the DNC is tapping Known Fighters JOE BIDEN and KAMALA HARRIS to come back!

    We need to elect communists and socialists from 1910 you know the ones world governments were so goddamn scared of they started multiple wars to try to eradicate the ideal as a whole. Didn’t work but they certainly tried anyway.

    Genuine question to our American friends:

    How come Bernie, AOC, Crockett etc. don’t start their own party? They can pledge to vote with the dems where it makes sense and they have enough political capital to continue getting elected. Seems like an ideal time to create a 3rd (actual alternative) party, no?

    It might force the republicans to create an alt right and centre right party too which I feel would erode some of the alt right because from experience most Americans are not that alt right.
